Isla La Roqueta & Virgen de los Mares
Isla La Roqueta
A small island across from Caleta Beach. Glass-bottom boats pass the underwater Virgin of the Seas statue, and the island has a quieter beach and snorkeling spots.
Roqueta Island lies about 1 kilometer across from Caleta Beach and is a protected area. Its Playa Roqueta beach is quieter than the main island, and visitors can snorkel to see tropical fish. A trail leads to the lighthouse at the island's summit. A glass-bottom boat from the Caleta pier takes about 15 to 20 minutes. On the way, boats stop above the bronze statue of the Virgen de los Mares, sitting about 2 meters underwater, so passengers can look down on it. The round trip costs about 150 to 250 pesos, and you can arrange a return time. Facilities on the island are basic, so bring your own drinking water.
